I did some searches on google and found people talking about this but didn't find any fixes.
How do you fix the Epic to show the 1X icon instead of 3G while in 1X areas? Can't believe Sprint actually fools people with this! If I am on 1X I want to see it...guess they didn't want people see the holes in the 3G network everywhere.
I'm rooted and have Clockwork installed so, let me know if there's some files to swap.
Sorry for the question to your question, but I've not been successful in getting the Epic to work on 1x. For me it's 3G, 4G, Wifi or nothing. I was out in the country the weekend before last, I had my Epic and TP2. The TP2 was working on 1x, the Epic had no data connection. The Epic also had no GPS, but that's another issue.

Dunno...1X works fine on mine. Had two Epics and 1 TP2 last night. All worked fine via 1X from the older 1X only Airave.
the blue minimalism theme will show you a 1x icon if you are connected to that or the 3g icon. and it has a percentage in the battery meter. really sweet theme

Yes, the Samsung Airave only supports 1X for Data, Voice, SMS. The Airvana supports EV and 1X for Voice/SMS.
Trying to get mine upgraded, I'm lazy and hate having to remember to flip Wifi off and on when I'm in the house, even with a widget on the screen.
Yes, 3G airave (airvana) has been shipping for a while now. Have one at my parents's house. GPS works well with it too, unlike first-gen.

airvana sounds sweet if i had it i would still use wifi for my data. wireless N is soooo fast about the equivalent of 4g
I just picked up my EVO a few days back. The phone itself I love to death. I moved from a moto droid(you will be missed QQ) it had a good run but was time to move on.
Ill get to the point, my 3g seems to not work(speedtest app shows speeds of 125kb/s) I get 4g about 25% of the time as of now and it does work fine, i average 5MB/S when 4g works but I cant take such slow speeds the other 75% of the time.. Im right next to queens on long island so its hit or miss when I head out anywhere outside the city.
If I had full 4g this would be ok and I could live with it but I do not.
I got the phone, rooted it using unrevoked, did not like the feel of unrevoked rom so I moved to CM7(RC2) I no 3g was not working to well(if at all) on CM7, cant say if it was or not on unrevoked that did not last very long. But when I flashed Fresh onto my evo 3g worked for a short time and fell back down to this crap speed.
Any help on this? I updated my radio, my data and all that still no luck.

Thanks, ill see if any of that works... I see some people have had this going on for months.
Well good to no its not just my phone I guess.
My 3g speeds make me sad. I can't even stream a low quality youtube video in a high signal strength area anymore.
My cellphone's internet stopped working. I had the 4G status icon and 4 great bars, but the browser, twitter, market, still would not work. After pulling out the battery several times, playing with the settings, etc. I turned 4G off and then all of a sudden the cell worked on 3G.
I showed up at the Sprint store and they told me "....hmmm, you know, the satellites,... you know.... are not working...... mine doesn't work neither...." (sic) It was true. The salesperson's EVO wasn't working either.
OK. they showed me a terminal screen stating that 4G was not working as expected, they were preforming tests.
The problem is that for about an hour I thought my phone had gone bad, until it occurred to me that I should turn 4G off. Then it worked, slow, but it worked. (to tell you the truth, I even went back to factory settings).
I told them that out of courtesy, they should send affected costumers a SMS or email advising about the 4G outage.
I noticed the same thing. Didn't realize it was because of an outage though. What's weird is that 4g service worked great via the hotspot. Just not on the handset. Weird, right?
I don't know what you are talking about....I'm in NYC and 4g is working fine for me ....I am using it right now.
I am on cm7 but that shouldn't make a difference.

yes, that's what I mean. You get the 4G icon and you think everything is fine. But it works only partially, so it's hard to realize that you need to disable 4G in order to get the internet working...

It worked for me again for 30 minutes then the internet (browser) wouldn't work again, so I disabled 4G again. It wasn't working for any of the guys at the Sprint store. So it must be on and off. I also asked them when was this outage going away, they couldn't answer. they just told me if I go to another tower (area) it might work.
It wouldn't turn on for me today around 4. I needed it to refresh my twitter faster so I can get free UFC tix from Dana lol but I didn't get crap

Same here- I work in midtown (east 50s); for the past couple of days, 4G has been intermittent at best (for me, whether on the handset, via wireless tether or via easytether)- but today, it just went out altogether. shows as connected and getting 2 or even 3 bars, but it won't connect to email, browser etc. when using the speednet app, I usually get time outs (999ms ping), but occasionally will go thru and get about 2 down/1 up (vs 5-7 down when working).
I guess I'd be a lot more pissed off about it if I hadn't picked up a Thunderbolt this morning... as much as I like Sprint and my Evo, that damn LTE has got some serious speed to it.

I was having the same issue in Chicago this morning. Seems to be working as of about 15 mins ago though.
I've been having problems in downtown Columbus, OH for about 12 hours now. Couldn't connect to it last night to update my Facebook (I was at a hockey game). My GPS still worked though, as I'm an avid Foursquare user.
Hope Sprint gets this fixed soon, if I wanted only 3g I'd have stuck with one of the Desire Z roms
Ok now I'm getting the 4g issues. I'm in S.I. and my 4g works but speeds have dropped from close to 1mbps to 200-300kbps....
Did anyone's 4g get fixed in NYC? ....mine is still really slow...its actually just as fast as my horrible 3g speeds
Still having horrible 4g in NYC ...I did a chat support with Sprint ....they told me to do a profile update ....which did not help....then the Rep said they sent some provisioning over the air to my phone which did not help either.....is anyone else still having slow 4g in NYC or is it just me???
NYC reception in general
So all this talk about a AT&T taking over of Tmobile has brought me to Sprint as my new carrier. Ill be picking up the EVO 4G. Can anyone tell me how there reception is in and around the city "NYC/Queens"? In general is there good 4G reception.
Thanks.
I've never had good 4g here in Canarsie, Brooklyn.
Ok finally sprint fixed something......my 4g speed are back I'm getting 1000+kBps
Anyone recently have any issues in NYC with their evos on 4G? I haven't been able to connect for almost a week. I called Sprint yesterday and they said they are having 4G issues. They gave me a $25 credit for my inconvinience. Hell all I want is my coverage back on.
I don't know if I'm in the right place or not but for the past week I've been only seeing 3G on my phone and I live in a 4G/H area. Has anyone else experienced anything like this (very weird) I'm rooted and I am using royalginger 1.6 before I was using CM7.
Can anyone help me out?

Have you called T-Mobile to ask if the HPSA+ radios are working correctly on local towers?
you might also want to check something like this
https://market.android.com/details?id=kenyu73.realsignal&feature=related_apps
For what it's worth, according to TMO's data coverage maps I live solidly in a 4H/HSPA+ service area, yet my phone randomly switches to "H" for about 3 minutes per week. 99% of the time it shows "3G", and my download speeds always shows 3G speeds no matter what the data indicator says. I guess that doesn't help you much, just sayin...

Yes I've called but all they say is that it's weird to them and there is nothing they could do. They already provision my phone twice.

I don't get the H at all anymore I use to
Ive been having this issue for over a month now. I live in dallas and I used to always get "4g". I noticed just right now that my phone was showing the 4g icon although im in Irving where I get horrible service. Idk very weird... Is like something making my phone show 3g in a hspa+ area and then show 4g in a non4g area? Im running the latest royalginger rom with faux latest kernel if it helps

I know that last week, down here (Port St Lucie, FL), they were doing a TON of maintenance to the 4G towers. They supposedly finished, and even though I live in a SOLID 4G-heavy area, I notice a drop to 3G about 40% of the time. Call TMo this evening and they're still doing maintenance. Hopefully I can get back to 100% 4G goodness soon.
I heard from sprint it may be an outage.

3G Data wonky in Denver
Having 3G issues here in Denver... both on my EVO and my wife's EVO Shift. We're both in different parts of town during the day.
I came back home to get some work done and 3G seems to be working just fine over our Airave device.
